Image – RL/SL Duality
 Started her SL career as “Ina Centaur” looking like
“herself” in RL
 Ina Centaur, the “Legend”
 “Naturally” creates enterprises. (Likely retired.)
 Tends towards a cultural poise associated with someone old.
 Has a passion for Shakespeare and the arts. (Likely WASP.)
 Entertained the belief of others,
unwittingly accepted legend, and
then became the venerable and
WASP avatar now known as
Ina Centaur.

Why So Much Effort for Something So Temporal?
 Theatre, by nature is temporal, like SL.
 A play shows change on stage; SL is all about change.
 Tier; the necessity of redesigning; the evolving platform itself
 Philosophically, the ultimate artform to represent the
metaverse.
 So,let’s make our implementation dazzling and
unprecedented.
 Obviously, I really believe in it!

Why Virtual Theatre on SL?
 Family vs Career in Theatre
 A Harrowing Personal Story—my smalltown actress friend who lost herself
trying to make it in the big city.
 Lesser extreme—others who are forced to leave their families for theatre.
 Live entertainment without boundaries
 Got Internet? No geographical boundaries.
 Got Voice? No physical discrimination.
 Revive the Bard!
 Not just puppetry—but in an immersive and interactive virtual world
 Environmental Reasons!
 Because I believe in creating worlds whose aesthetics and ontology I
can control and effect, and if RL theatre is considered a microcosm,
then SL theatre is the ultimate microcosm.
